To ensure that residents receive superior advanced educational and clinical experience, all NYU Langone Dental Medicine affiliated clinical training sites are critically evaluated by our Vice President of Dental Education, Vice President of the AEGD program and the AEGD Administrative team. Program administration conducts ongoing assessment of the clinical training sites to assess the facility, equipment, materials, resources, and faculty and support staff credentials to verify that the training sites meet the program’s requirements and CODA standards.

All sites meet the program’s requirements and CODA standards and are typically modern state-of-the-art facilities. General dentists comprise the majority of the clinical teaching staff and many sites have a variety of specialists on staff. Faculty to resident ratio exceeds 1:1. There are a minimum of 2 and up to 15 AEGD residents training per site.

Clinical training sites are calibrated to the program’s requirements and CODA standards. However, each clinical training site is unique regarding the additional resources they provide to the program to supplement and enhance upon the core clinical curriculum and experiences ultimately provided to the residents that includes: patient demographics, faculty and staff, specialized services, rotations and/or supplemental experiences and public health initiatives.

the AEGD resident’s schedule is minimally 40 hours per week/52 weeks per year to satisfy the program’s time requirements towards achieving the program certificate, and in addition to completing all the program’s clinical and didactic curriculum requirements.

Residents must complete one year and/or 12 months of the program to receive the program certificate.

There are no formal Emergency Room and Operating Room rotations or On-call requirements. However, clinical training sites receive program approval to develop supplemental experiences in these areas either by site or by resident request.

Clinical training sites provide the residents with the resources necessary to achieve clinical training experiences and utilizing current methods, materials and equipment in a modern practice environment.

Current concepts in esthetic dentistry, pain control and sedation, orthodontics, preventive dentistry, endodontics, anesthesia, periodontics, prosthodontics, hard and soft tissue surgery, and the management of medical emergencies and dental/oral trauma in the dental practice

The principles of dental practice management and practice administration in daily practice including the principles of the psychodynamics of dental care, managing decisions and choices of care, quality management, and ethics & professionalism.

Evidence-based dentistry and application towards clinical practice.

Diagnosis and treatment planning.

Critical evaluation of the literature.

Second-year residents participate in coursework related to research, public health and evidence-based methodologies. These residents will ultimately develop a public health project that is publishable and presentable in journals and dental and/or public health related venues.

Traditionally, this program does not have on-call, extra clinical, and/or medical rotation requirements. However, these experiences may be developed for the resident at the discretion of the health center training site and the program administration. Some health center training sites have traditional hours of operation while others may have late evening sessions and some weekend hours. The resident’s training schedule will be developed at the discretion of the health center training sites in collaboration with the program administration.

There are no limits on the number of AEGD affiliated clinical training sites to which candidates may apply. Final assignments are generally completed after the MATCH process with consideration given to the needs of both the AEGD candidate and the clinical training sites in each region.

Note that the application requirements for the optional PGY-2 are the same as PGY-1 with one exception: evidence of completion of a 1st year of AEGD or GPR is required.

Dental Public Health

The NYU Langone DPH residency will provide an excellent opportunity for residents to develop skills related to the development, management, and evaluation of oral health programs in general and more specifically as those programs impact community health centers programs.

The NYU Langone DPH residency will prepare the resident to successfully challenge the certifying examination of the American Board of Dental Public Health (ABDPH) and to acquire practical public health skills that will facilitate meaningful employment in the public health field after graduation.

The NYU Langone DPH residency prepares the resident to acquire the competencies required by the American Board of Dental Public Health (ABDPH). At the beginning of the residency, the resident and the Resident Advisor jointly assess the resident’s mastery level for each of the competencies. Based on this assessment of the resident’s strengths and weaknesses, the Resident and Resident Advisor develop an individualized Curriculum Plan that guides the resident’s program.

The DPH residency prepares the resident to acquire the following competencies:

Plan oral health programs for populations

Select interventions and strategies for the prevention and control of oral diseases and promotion of oral health

The program matches DPH residents to affiliated community health centers or schools of dentistry. The resident will gain real-world experience working at a community-based organization and implementing and/or evaluating programs where they work. Currently we have 15 training sites throughout the U.S. Residents also participate in several field experiences (similar to rotations) that provide exposure to the public health system beyond the health center to which they are assigned. Sites may include state and local health departments, primary care associations, non-profit health care and policy organizations, Medicaid agencies, and any other sites that promote the resident’s professional interests.

The DPH residency emphasizes the practical aspect of dental public health. Residents will spend the majority of their time developing and implementing one or more projects that are consistent with the interests of the resident and that also provide a tangible benefit to the host health center. These projects may include the development of preventive and outreach programs to improve access, projects to improve the management practices of the dental program, need assessments and program evaluations. Residents will develop the projects in collaboration with the academic advisor and the health center staff.

Residents will also take several didactic courses that cover the full range of DPH competencies. These courses are provided via video conference, so all DPH residents can participate, regardless of their geographic location. Residents will also learn about the public health system beyond the health center by participating in Supervised Field Experiences at public health agencies and organizations.

DPH Curriculum

Projects

The resident must implement at least one “data based” project that demonstrates the capacity to collect, manage and analyze data, and to prepare a scholarly paper that is suitable for publication. The resident may also conduct additional projects as time permits and as approved by the Resident Advisor. Projects may address a wide scope of topics, such as health center management issues to make the oral health program operate more efficiently, to develop systems to document clinic productivity, quality and patient outcomes, to develop new outreach or preventive programs, and seek grant funding for new initiatives. To the extent possible, projects should meet the needs of the host health center and be consistent with the resident’s professional interests and educational goals.

Residents in each of the training sites jointly participate in didactic coursework via video teleconference, using a computer and internet connection provided at the training site. Typically, course faculty will assign readings and a brief written assignment prior to each videoconference session and guide the discussion. Didactic courses are usually “seminar”, rather than “lecture” style, to permit residents to discuss complex community, social and healthcare issues. The following courses are offered:

Oral Health Research Methods

Epidemiology of Oral Diseases

CHC Policy and Management

CHC Finances

DPH Study Club

Critical Review of the Literature

Ethics Case Studies in Patient Care and Research

Grant Writing for CHC Projects

Oral Health Surveillance

Field Experiences

Residents will participate in several Field Experiences (similar to rotations) that provide exposure to the public health system beyond the health center to which they are assigned. Sites may include state and local health departments, primary care associations, non-profit health care and policy organizations, Medicaid agencies, and any other sites that promote the resident’s professional interests. Field experiences may be short visits to learn about a program or more comprehensive experiences that provide an opportunity to participate in projects or oral health coalitions.

Applicants must have a dental degree from a U.S. or international dental school.

Applicants must have the MPH (Masters of Public Health) or “equivalent” degree from a program or school accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) or other accrediting agency. The CEPH search tool is helpful to search for accredited degrees: www.ceph.org. If you are uncertain if your non-MPH degree is “equivalent” to the MPH degree, contact Dr Balzer at: jay.balzer@nyumc.org

Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or a U.S. permanent resident; applicants with visas or work permits are not eligible to apply.

Our program does not use the ADA PASS system and we do not require a special application form. We do require that you submit several documents that will be reviewed by our admissions committee. The first step of the application process is to send an email to the Program Director, Dr. Jay Balzer, at jay.balzer@nyumc.org stating your interest and why you believe you meet the eligibility requirements listed in the above paragraph. He will review your eligibility status and if acceptable, will send you instructions for what documents to submit. Once you submit all required documents, your application will be sent for review. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

The resident must implement at least one “data based” project that demonstrates the capacity to collect, manage and analyze data, and to prepare a scholarly paper that is suitable for publication. The resident may also conduct additional projects as time permits and as approved by the Resident Advisor. Projects may address a wide scope of topics, such as health center management issues to make the oral health program operate more efficiently, to develop systems to document clinic productivity, quality and patient outcomes, to develop new outreach or preventive programs, and seek grant funding for new initiatives. To the extent possible, projects should meet the needs of the host health center and be consistent with the resident’s professional interests and educational goals.

Yes, all residents attend the National Oral Health Conference that is the major meeting for dental public health professionals, with expenses reimbursed. Residents may also attend local conferences and workshops that are consistent with their educational goals and 4 continuing education days are a fringe benefit.

Endodontics

The program is designed to build diagnostic experience, re-treatment assessment as well as to develop skills for treating patients under sedation or in the operating room. Use of all current technologies and methodologies is encouraged while conducting numerous endodontical procedures including; surgical operating microscopes, a variety of rotary instruments, cone beam computed tomography and ultrasonics. All attending endodontists who oversee residents are concurrently private sector practitioners who are well-steeped in the most advanced endodontic practices. This affords residents exposure to clinicians with many years of private practice experience. In addition, residents have an opportunity to observe attendings at their private office.

This 25 month ADA-CODA approved program has 6 PGY 1 positions - 3 in Brooklyn, New York and 3 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. PGY2 residents number 6 and are equally split between the two Endodontic residency training locations.

This 25-month program is a hybrid blend of both hospital- and dental school-based training. The program emphasizes orthograde and surgical clinical endodontics. Residents who successfully complete the program are granted a certificate in endodontics and meet eligibility requirements for the American Board of Endodontics examination. Residents can expect:

In July 2005, NYU Langone Dental Medicine – Advanced Education in Endodontics established its fully ADA-CODA accredited twenty-five (25)-month Advanced Specialty Education Program in Endodontics in Brooklyn, New York. The program added an additional endodontic training site in 2009 in San Juan, Puerto Rico at the University of Puerto Rico School of Dental Medicine (UPR). The expansion made NYU Langone Dental Medicine – Advanced Education in Endodontics the first Endodontic program to have multiple training sites.

Core Curriculum

First-year residents participate in relevant aspects of the core curriculum. These include embryology, infectious and immunological processes in health and disease, oral medicine, and pharmacotherapeutics. Residents are also exposed to lectures in implant dentistry and have the opportunity to work closely with an implantologist.

In addition, endodontic residents attend an in-depth course in methods and materials for research.

This covers:

Epidemiology and research methods

Statistics

Data analysis and practical research design

Writing a biomedical paper

Writing a research proposal

Presenting papers at scientific meetings

Submitting a paper for publication

Endodontics Curriculum

The endodontic curriculum includes diagnosis and treatment planning, outcome evaluation, surgical and non-surgical endodontic treatment and re-treatment, immunology, and microbiology.

The program uses a distance learning curriculum of structured lectures and learning activities that occur via live video teleconference (VTC) and asynchronous web-based modules (Brightspace). NYU Langone Dental Medicine – Advanced Education in Endodontics VTC didactic learning program allows endodontic residents, whether in Brooklyn or Puerto Rico, to collaborate with each other as well as with residents and faculty located at all extramural training sites in every NYU Langone Dental Medicine residency program throughout the United States. As part of the VTC sessions, endodontic residents prepare, share and present interesting and unique cases for group discussion. NYU Langone Dental Medicine – Advanced Education in Endodontics receive the same didactic lectures and literature review via live weekly video teleconferencing.

In addition to weekly VTC lectures, endodontic residents participate every week in small interactive seminars. These seminars immerse the residents in a combination of multidisciplinary as well as specialty-focused topics. Biomedical courses include: oral biology, anesthesia, physical diagnosis, endodontic series, orofacial pain, craniofacial development, research methods and materials and extensive literature review. Clinical rotations to enhance the didactic curriculum include: anesthesia, sedation and the OR.
